Military Kids to Get Free Back to School Backpacks on Monday
Operation Homefront Back-to-School Brigade is giving away backpacks full of back to school supplies to military kids.
Military kids can receive free backpacks full of back to school supplies on Aug. 12 in Woodbridge, as part of Operation Homefront's back to school initiative. The Woodbridge event is one of five events in the DC metro area.
Military parents can register their children online at the Operation Homefront website. The distribution location is the American Legion at 3640 Friendly Post Lane in Woodbridge. Backpacks will be distributed from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
“Military families deal not only with deployments and the other stresses of military life, but also the economic difficulties shared by all Americans,” said Vivian Dietrich, Executive Director of Operation DC Metro Field Office. “These donated school supplies enhance the morale and the success of our military children, while easing the burden military families carry.”
